~ capturing my families' memories

Tommy’s birthday

My Grandpa weighed 14lbs at birth! At least that’s what my Grandma always told me. 105 years ago, on October 5, 1904, James Thomas Willis, was born in Fayette, Alabama. Tommy, as he was called, was the 3rd of 9 children and was a genius when it came to math and numbers. My mother often talked about how impressive his ability was and when you factor in that he did not have a long, formal education it must have been amazing.

Happy 105th birthday, Grandpa!

Because I did not know my grandfather, I’m hoping to update this post with contributions from Tommy’s children.

Welcome!

Delving into family stories, documents and photos is what I enjoy! Relative Storyboard: capturing family memories, is my blog where I share and encourage discussion about my findings. Often I only have tidbits of information that I piece together in hopes that one day I'll have a more complete storyboard.
I hope you find something of interest and I need your comments, if you do. So, if you have questions or if we share an ancestor I really want to hear from you. Leave me a comment or contact me at kayzie31 at gmail.com.
